Abstract This paper describes a general framework for automatic termination analysis of logic programs, where we understand by termination" the niteness of the LD-tree constru...
Schema-based program transformation [8] has been proposed as an effective technique for the optimisation of logic programs. Schemata are applied to a logic program, mapping ineffi...
The modal mu-calculus is an expressive logic that can be used to specify safety and liveness properties of concurrent systems represented as labeled transition systems (LTSs). We ...
Abstract, We consider the problem of integrating Reiter's default logic into terminological representation systems. It turns out that such an integration is less straightforwa...
We present a general theory for the use of negative premises in the rules of Transition System Specifications (TSSs). We formulate a criterion that should be satisfied by a TSS in ...
